This is how we've been spending most of our afternoon's these days. It was a bit cooler when I took these photos, as we've seemed to go straight from Winter to Summer! Although I've REALLY been enjoying the 80+ days, I kinds of miss my capri's and tee shirts. But after almost two weeks of the 80s, it does look to cool down to the 70s this next week. Regardless, we'll be outside enjoying whatever weather we are fortunate enough to get.
You will notice how much Wyatt is like Jack at this age - always wanting to be outside, no matter what the weather is, playing in the dirt with his trucks! He really enjoys this bit of the backyard, rolling his trucks down the hill. Hopefully he will get his fill, as we're hoping to get started on having this back terraced area landscaped with a retaining wall, patio and fireplace in the next few weeks.
I can't always get Ethan outside (and sometimes I can't get him to come in!) but when he does go out, he loves to either hit the baseball, kick the soccer ball or just play with the grass.
Jack is usually running all over the place shooting things and playing "Halo."
Ethan has gotten really good at hitting the ball.
Always in the dirt...
Ethan's other favorite thing to do is walk over to the fence...
...and then play there.
Sometimes I come out back and can't find anyone...they are great at hiding in the trees.
And once Wyatt finds Jack, he is usually always right behind him.
Jack shooting...
and more shooting.
Wyatt is always climbing around in the backyard - usually looking for Jack. Yesterday he ended up on the very top terrace, right on the edge. I didn't have shoes on so I sent Jack up to bring him down. He picked up Wyatt and then started to run down the hill, or the motion of coming down the hill made him go fast. Anyway, he got right to the edge of the bottom terrace and fell holding Wyatt. Wyatt's face hit the ground and cut his forehead and skinned up his wrist. The poor kid has all kinds of cuts, scrapes and bruises. I keep telling him to get used to it.
Wyatt shooting with Jack. When people see him doing this, they generally start laughing, as he really has perfected his shooting stance.
They have so much fun together, for the most part.
I need to find either a soccer team or t-ball team for Ethan to play on. Not sure how long he would stay interested but he really seems to enjoy it.
Time to get Jack back into baseball too!
Hope you have enjoyed spending an afternoon with us.
GOODBYE!!!
